According to the Georgia Guide Pile-of-Rocks, the earth should only host 500 million people. That means 7.5 billion must die. That means 15 out of 16 must die all at once in some catastrophic event. (or slowly over the next few decades?) If monetary value was the only determining factor, how much money would you need to be in the top 5%? Based on net worth and income, to make the cut you'd have to be worth at least.... a million? wait... 10 million? I can't figure this out, but it's a number that can be calculated based on available figures. I'm just not savvy enough to figure out what the top 5% of net worth is. I'm pretty sure there aren't 500 million billionaires alive today.

All energy we produce/consume on earth is inherently "renewable". Remember Carl Sagan saying, "we are all made of star-stuff"? It's the same philosophy. Why should we worry about oil or nuclear power plants when every bit of energy produced on earth is in a restricted environment confined by our orbit around the sun?

We are living on a sweet, sweet planet. The Good Earth is Good.

But if every human on earth had to be killed except for the richest of the rich, would you survive?

You're asking me why we should worry about a total lack of maintenance for a prolonged period of time when it comes to nuclear power plants?

Idk, what could possibly go chernobyl wrong all over the world?

>But if every human on earth had to be killed except for the richest of the rich, would you survive?

Why would I want to spend the rest of my life in hell, is the real question here I think. We're talking about a scenario where the living will envy the dead...

Now let's say for the sake of the argument that only the ultra rich are the survivors, what are they going to do? They don't even do their own housekeeping, they don't even mow their own lawns, what are they going to do without peons doing all that for them everyday? Well they're going to be their own peons... Eh...

I mean, all those luxuries they enjoy everyday, that they can't live without. Their golf courses, their cars, their parties, their boats, casinos, castles, younameit. They don't fall from the sky. An army of workers is in charge of producing and maintaining those for them everyday of the week...

And that's without mentioning critical infrastructures...

I mean what we talking about? Hell on earth, literally. And you think those glorified fat cats will do well in that environment? "LOL". What are they going to be without their fucking luxury malls to begin with?

You do realize those people are among the most unfit for survival in such madmax environment?

The generation of power from a nuclear power plant never took into account the long-term cost of maintaining the radioactive waste produced as a byproduct. ...let alone a meltdown.

Correct answer. When even their most trusted guards realize they have to survive, then what? Wait! Even their executive assistants & guards and staff live that life, so they are in trouble too. When a can of corn is a tradable commodity, many conventions go out the window.

Once humanoid robots are capable of doing that stuff it won't matter.
